Obama: Newtown reminds us of the importance of climate policy or something

Obama thanked the Diplomatic Corps for the support offered by their home nations after the Sandy Hook shooting, before rallying the ambassadors to unite against other struggles, such as climate change.

“[W]hen you think about the last few days, you’re reminded that there’s a fundamental human response that transcends cultures and transcends borders,” Obama said last night. “And that’s what is represented in this room,” he added recalling the foreign policy efforts of his first term.

“At the same time, we’re mindful that we’ve got so much more work to do together,” the president continued, noting ongoing threats from terrorists, among other issues. “And all of us have to be concerned about a changing climate that could have a profound impact on every single country here.”

Obama brings this up as the IPCC seems to be descending into chaos.
The “draft” of AR5, the next IPCC report, states that the “solar forcing” isn’t behaving as predicted, and there is more warming coming from “solar sources” (i.e. not man) than originally thought.

Cap it off with a new “peer-reviewed” study that shows that the increase in water vapor, mythically caused by CO2, that was supposed to cause most of the warming, isn’t showing in the data, as the level of water vapor has held steady for the last 50 years. The temperature is statically flat for the last 16 years.

If the US capitol were blown up, BHO would use it to push a slow down on fracking. The man has no tact. Every time I see him, I feel like I’m listening to a “used-car salesman” (apologies to honest used-car salesmen everywhere).
